Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Deluxe Elita-1 Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 and Up, 5.5-inch

Before she was Elita-1, she was Ariel. Ariel, Dion and Orion Pax were workers on Cybertron. Ariel's boyfriend is Orion. They were a couple. But Megatron showed up and almost killed them. Alpha Trion rebuilt Orion Pax into Optimus Prime, while Ariel was transformed into Elita-1. It's unknown what happened to Dion. Many believe, he was turned into Ultra Magnus, but Hasbro has insisted Dion died and Magnus is somebody else.Elita-1 continues to be the on and off girlfriend of Optimus Prime. She made only one appearance on the original show, just like many of her female warriors who served under her. But she has appeared in the comics and the recent show, Earth Spark.Sadly, there were only a few toys based on the character. The previous toys were from Power of the Primes and the War for Cybertron trilogy. This Legacy toy is actually the best version. As she looks very much like her cartoon counterpart. The strawberry and pink colors stand out. Elita looks wonderful in robot mode. Her vehicle, while not looking like the cartoon version, is great. It can be a little tricky turning her from robot to vehicle. After watching some videos, I was able to transform her properly.Hasbro made two more characters from this mold: Minerva and Strongarm.In the end, I'm happy buying Elita-1.

I stumbled on this figure as a sale item for under 10 bucks US. This was my main reason for the purchase, but it was even more surprising when I saw it in person. Very well made sculpt and a good amount of articulation. Size is right for this price range and at 10 bucks or less is a "no brainer" purchase.

I like the look of this figure. It also is a stand-alone figure for the Legacy line. The WFC trilogy version is different. I think that version was remolded into Earthrise Arcee (or was it the other way around?). But anyway, I think this version is much better. Less of a shell former like the WFC trilogy version.My only gripe other than the stubbly feet that is most evident in alt mode and clear plastic guns is the cheapness of it all. From those guns to the weird texture/feel of the feet (as well as its limited articulation), the plastic for the main body feels very "hollow". So hollow, that when my first figure fell on my shelf (not too high, maybe 5 feet) to the carpet, one of the shoulder pylons had snapped off. I glued it back, but I don't want to transform it to risk it breaking off again.Luckily, this figure got so cheap that it was selling under $10 on this site. So, I bought a second one because I do like its design... just not the quality of plastic.

Cool figure, looks great in robot and vehicle mode!

Item as described. Great buy in the box.

This was a Christmas giftThe little boy was thrilled

This is probably one of the best female transformers figures. It isn’t the best but has two guns and easy to transform. The feet are the only part I disliked. They don’t really transform and are just there are the back of the vehicle. Overall an average figure that goes well with other g1 style figures.

Toys packaging came absolutely destroyed. All bent and ripped like someone found it stuffed under a lottle kids bed. Luckily the figure itself wasn't damaged. Very small figure. About 5 inches. And the color is as described. Price wasn't horrible.
